Casting Circle

How To Cast Circle

This is a great beginners method for castings circle. Feel free to experiment as no two witches cast circle in the exact same way :-)

Once you are set up in
your working area it is time to cast a circle. This is creating a container
that holds the energy you are building and keeps out any unwanted energy from
your environment. This is also why we clear the energy with sage or an
alternative before ritual.

Sit or stand in the middle of your working
area and either with your eyes closed using your third eye or eyes open
visualise a white ball of light ahead of you at the edge of where you want your
circle to be.

See a beam of light
come out of it and head around you and your space in a clockwise direction
creating a circle until it comes back and re-joins the ball of light.

Now see the white
light spreading from the top of the circle line you have drawn from all four
directions and joining above your head like the top half of a balloon or
bubble.

See the same happen from the bottom until your circle is literally a
glowing bubble encompassing both you and your working space.

Say:

I Open This Circle And
Create A Sacred Container For My Work Here Today

Close Of Circle ~

At the end of ritual
repeat the initial steps above but in reverse, seeing the walls of the bubble
come down top and bottom and re-joining the outline of your circle.

Now see the light beam
from the ball of light going anticlockwise until it comes back around and you
are just left with the ball of light once more.

Say:

I Close This Circle
And Give Thanks For The Sacred Container You Have Held Here For Me Today
